Scary Stories, Ghosts, Folklore, Myths, Monsters and Legends in Ohio

The phantom lioness, usually heard rather than seen, who follows visitors in Cincinnati Zoo; the entrance to Hell created by Satanists at Satan's Hollow in Blue Ash, Cincinnati; the spectre of William H Morgan in Glamorgan Castle, Alliance; stories of Johnny Appleseed, a real nurseryman and missionary whose real name was John Chapman (he planted many apple nurseries in the Mohican area of Ohio); and the Cry Baby Bridge in Norton, Akron, where at midnight the ghostly sight and sound of a mother throwing her baby into the river may be witnessed, are among the true ghost stories, myths and legends of Ohio.

The girl in denims and tennis shoes, who sits on her own gravestone, in Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum, Dayton; the "melon heads" of Kirtland, similar to those of Connecticut and Michigan (I also suspect that the New York legend of swollen-headed Catskill gnomes owes its origin to melonheads); the ghost of Mrs Squire in Squire's Castle near Cleveland; the hauntings of Franklin Castle (a private residence, so do not linger), Cleveland, including a crying child and unexplained music (in spite of its name and reputation as Ohio's most haunted house, it looks to me like a typical Victorian dwelling); the story of Indian fighter Bill Quick, who had ninety-nine human skulls displayed as trophies in his cabin near Kenton and, on his death bed, made his son Tom swear to add the hundredth, little knowing that the hundredth trophy in the cabin would be placed there by a Native American warrior and would be Tom's own skull (there certainly was a Tom Quick, notorious for killing Native Americans indiscriminately, and the legend probably grew from a desire to create justice in legend if not in reality); and the frog-like dwarves of Loveland, are other legendary tales of ghosts and haunted places in Ohio.

America is one of the largest, most most varied and most interesting countries in the world. How well can you know the USA? Try visiting New York, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Corpus Christi, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Sitka, Seattle, Honolulu, Sacramento, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Fairbanks, Houston, Lake Tahoe, Anchorage, Indianapolis, Dallas, Juneau, Albuquerque, Skagway, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, St Louis, Savannah, San Diego, Santa Fe, Atlanta, Washington DC and Boston. Nobody can see every part of the United States of America but those cities are probably the ones that nearly everybody on earth has heard of. The Grand Canyon, Route 66, the Arctic wilderness of Alaska, Hawaiian volcanoes such as Mauna Loa, Native American nations such as the Navajo and the Hopi, the plantations and bayous of the Mississippi Delta, the Okefenokee Swamp, the Disney resorts, Bryce Canyon, the California coastline, the Everglades, Mount Rainier National Park, Mount Rushmore, the beach at Waikiki in Hawaii, the Adirondacks, the Florida Keys, Yellowstone National Park, Glacier Bay National Park, the wild west town of Tombstone, Mount McKinley and fabulous wildlife in Denali National Park, Niagara Falls, Yosemite National Park, rodeos, Marvellous scenery and sea life in Kenai Fjords National Park, the Appalachians and the Ozarks are also iconic sights and destinations. Whether you travel America for business or pleasure, enjoy your journey.
